HB166 adds a $10 court cost in Baldwin County to fund a mental health court program for circuit and district courts.
It imposes an additional $10 court cost on each civil case and each criminal case filed in Baldwin County's circuit and district courts, including traffic and small claims, but not cases filed in juvenile or family court. The clerk collects these fees and pays them to the Baldwin County Commission, which then distributes the funds to the circuit court and district attorney to create, implement, and operate a mental health court. The fees cannot be waived unless all other fees in the case are waived; the act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval (or when it otherwise becomes law).
